Abstract
Supplementary cementitious materials like silica fume, which are added to the cement mix and react with calcium ions in the pore solution, enhance the production of calcium-silicate-hydrate gel and modify the microstructure in other ways. By combining ultra small angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) experiments on silica fume slurries with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on hydrating cement systems, the effects on the microstructural development during cement hydration of adding silica fume have been studied.
